We have a Sun StorEdge L700 library with a new install of NetBackup
5.1MP5 on Solaris 10. The library and drives (6 LTO2) are hooked up via
SCSI connections from a Sun E450, with the library being the only device
on the controller it is attached to. When performing an inventory
operation from NetBackup, it takes 3-5 minutes. Is this normal for what
seems like a logical operation, as no physical scan is actually being
done at this point?

We also have an L25+L100 setup and an inventory of that takes only 3 to
4 seconds.
